Bay
Area Divers SCUBA clubs location is in the south Houston / Clear Lake /
Galveston Texas area.
BAD strives to provide opportunities to dive
locally in order to improve skills and
offers affordable scuba dive
trips abroad. Check out the photos
Our local dives gives new divers the chance to practice and
to dive with seasoned veterans.
It provides experienced divers a reason to
get wet (and we never get enough of that!)
If you are a visitor to our
site and are in the Houston area, please come to our dive club monthly meeting.
The general public is
welcome and encouraged to attend our activities. |

Jim Rosborough
shared his experience in volunteerism on
projects doing marine research with Earthwatch
over the past 12 years. Jim has worked on
projects in Belize, Aruba, Jamaica, Barbados,
Exuma Cays, Puerto Rico, Bonaire, San Salvador,
Hawaii and St. John. Earthwatch is currently
organizing research projects in the Seychelles,
Belize, Thailand and Truck Lagoon.
Jim has been a
diver and explorer for over 50 years. He grew up
on the island of Aruba.
This was a good
opportunity to learn about the many ways that us
divers can participate in these types of
projects.

Tami Thomas
Tami was born in Pasadena, and
she grew up in Texas City. Tami had wanted to learn to dive for
years because she thought it would be interesting, which she
says it is, she wanted to meet new people, AND for the health
benefits it offers. She started diving July 2007 and got her AOW
in August of 2007. Tami really has only been able to do local
lake dives so far, but she is looking forward to going to new
places very soon. She is an RN at UTMB and she has 2 daughters,
ages 22 and 18, and one son, who is 7. Tami is a very friendly
person and she would love to get to know everyone in BAD better!
